There is a sick sense of groundhog day to the warriors 4th quarter collapses - it is so common this past three months that, as I switched between that game and the Phoenix/Lakers, I had zero surprise at the Ws loss, nor that the loss was because of stagnant offense.

BTW, Phoenix played beautiful ball today, esp. Nash and Diaw, what a pleasure. 7 players in double figures! Team passing at its best. Loved what Nash said afterwards when asked about Kobe's 51. With a smile, "Doesn't he do that every night? As long as we win, it doesn't really matter." Bill Walton got a big kick out of it - knew exactly what he was talking about. Channeling Bill Russell...I don't think Phoenix can get past San Antonio, but not so sure SA can get past Dallas, and Phoenix can get past Dallas, all stars aligning. Man, what a wonderful final Detroit Phoenix would be...
